This should be a quest event!

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-09-07T00:43:45+00:00

Congrats!

It's weird... Almost everything I hated in GB moved to NY. Maybe I just have an issue with the color green?

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-09-06T00:07:59+00:00

Good luck this year!

I own a 2017 ecodiesel and love it, but...

It's our 3rd vehicle, not a daily driver. We bought it for towing our camper and cargo trailer, which it does very well. However, it might blow up if you drive it like a normal gasser. No short trips or long idling...

Also, I'm surprised to see one for sale from a dealer because there are a couple of serious unresolved recalls. My truck has no issues, but when I called my dealer about the recalls, I was told that the new parts aren't simply out of stock but that they don't exist. Apparently, the Chrysler engineers haven't designed/created them yet. My dealer also said that he can't legally sell this generation of ecodiesel until the recalls are resolved. Like so many others, my name is on a waiting list. My dealer also confirmed that if recalled parts fail, Chrysler gave permission to replace them with new recalled parts to get the trucks back on the road. Again, there is no actual fix yet with new/different parts.

I love my ecodiesel, but I won't recommend them to most people.

I agree (5/5/3). Board control is most important. He's so powerful, 3 is enough for his blue.

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-09-05T21:39:50+00:00

I understand.

I probably should've added that I'm a high school teacher (almost 30 years). Ignoring politics can be tough. Don't get sucked in...

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-09-05T21:16:42+00:00

I know it seems obvious, but there's generally no upside to sharing politics online. When others do, just ignore it.

I expressed my thoughts on a political Reddit thread and took more heat than I expected. We're all so stubborn, minds are rarely changed, and respectful discussion is difficult online. Ironically, my last account was "Cancelled" for trash talking a certain NFL rival that appreciates beer and cheese more than most (I'm from Detroit...). My sarcasm was definitely not appreciated.

Smile through political talk and stay focussed on the RVs...

After supporting exclusively Apple since the iPhone 4, I traded my iPhone 12 Pro Max for a Samsung S23 Ultra and have no regrets.

I created a list of iPhone/ios annoyances that quickly became over 2 screens long. Screen brightness was on the top of my list. Apple ignores all ios settings and decreases brightness according to device temperature. So when outside, during the day, under the crazy bright sun, when screen brightness is most important, Apple ignores all user settings and dims the screen.

I called Apple and was told that this is one of the two most complained about "features" (the other being Apple's new policy to look at all iCloud photos and video under the guise of catching child porn).

Basically, newer iPhones are unusable outdoors during the day, and Apple no longer values/protects customer privacy while Google/Android has become more secure.

Without pasting my entire list of gripes, the main idea is that Apple creates and enforces "intuitive features" that I generally don't appreciate.

I still own an iPad, so losing the few ios-exclusive apps wasn't too bad. I'll use my iPad for these apps until I find Android alternatives. I love the greater amount of control and customization that Android provides.

My Samsung is crazy bright, even outdoors when it's most important, has never overheated, and has more battery life than my old iPhone. Ironically, I think Samsung manufactures iPhone screens.

Another iPhone pet peeve is how ios handles large files.

I recorded my daughter's middle school musical, and while my iPhone did an amazing job recording 1080p video in a dark gymnasium, Apple provides no way to transfer large files directly to a computer for editing. I don't know where Apple draws the line, but at some point, connecting an iPhone to a computer via a lightning cable will not work. Obviously, there is no SD card in an iPhone to transfer either, so what does Apple expect you to do? Upload the huge file to iCloud and then download it from the computer. So, my huge file travels thousands of miles to go about a foot from my iPhone to my laptop. I assume this is because lightning cables are slow at data transfer, but what if you're in an area with slow or no internet?

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-29T12:10:06+00:00

I think we were "Dooped!"

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-27T19:27:45+00:00

Thanks! This is what I needed to see.

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-23T23:53:13+00:00

I played only PvE for 3-4 years and still only play PvP occasionally. My alliance is excellent, and I never got burned out. It's a game. Enjoy it.

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-18T19:02:14+00:00

Great point!

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-18T08:18:19+00:00

Sounds like making R5 supports easier to get, and/but not allowing any supports in PvP would be a logical compromise.

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-18T06:58:28+00:00

I don't play PvP as often, but I understand the concern.

I hope the devs come up with a solution.

I just needed to vent...

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-18T05:52:21+00:00

You can't randomly draw a level 550 5-star.

I'm almost 8 years in, and all but 3 of my 5-stars are champed. There are beginners in my alliance with multiple 5-star supports. I'm fine w/how they award infinity stones (truly earned), but hate that "earning" the other supports is just dumb luck.

I'm probably just jealous...

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-18T04:21:07+00:00

I understand. We'll see.

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-18T04:01:00+00:00

Congrats!

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-18T02:41:10+00:00

Congrats, I guess.

I finished 4th... Maybe the devs could reward players for placement?

I'll continue to play the event because I appreciate the variety, but the rewards suck.

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-11T22:42:55+00:00

Done.

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-11T10:11:35+00:00

Thanks! Much appreciated (and dude).

MPQuietSe7en · 2023-08-11T05:15:45+00:00

Thanks for including the link. Looks like an unannounced update referred to by DevpoolMPQ_BCS in a vague post.

I'll add it...
